So I downloaded this hair from the sims resource and I want to edit it a bit in Blender but I can’t find the mesh to export it. Usually in the studio section it has those tabs “texture” “categories” and “meshes” but this file is missing the meshes tab. The hair 100% works in my game so I have no idea where it’s mesh is hidden…

Hi. Make sure that is not a recolor. If it isnt, share the link to the file please.

The file appears to have been merged, which could be why you're only getting the resources and not the regular views (but for some reason it says 0 package files are included when trying to unmerge - not sure what's up with that...).
The meshes are there ("geometry" resources), but I don't know any good ways to extract them in that form (they don't seem to save as blender files, but ".binary", not sure if it works to save as ".blend")

S4PlayerI followed what you said step by step but I’m not seeing any difference 😕 the “done” pop up happens instantaneously after I do the “embed all…” so I’m not sure if it’s working right.

Hi. It seems that the author intentionally "corrupted" or created the package in a way that prevents people from exporting the meshes. I dont know how but s4s cannot export them neither with a cheat nor traditionally

It's possible they used a different program, like TSRW or S4PE. Not sure if any of those can merge files, but it is possible to make S4 packages in TSRW. I don't think a lot of creators do, but there are some (It allows for a few things like adding groups more easily, according to one discussion I came across, but other than that I don't know much - I mostly use it for extracting stuff from TS3 files).
TSRW only exports in its own format , WSO (?) and OBJ, so you'd likely have to fix bone assignments and such for the hair later.
In S4Studio I have been able to extract some items through manipulation of the Geometry files (extracting, then replacing them in other files that have the Mesh tab), but I haven't tried this for CAS meshes, and it doesn't always work.
